The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-12-03

FROM Mr.. J. B. Huling, of the Church
of our Father, residence 276 Fremont
street, Chicago, comes this excellent
suggestion. We take pleasure in pre-
senting it to our readers and trust they
will give it due heed
"Will you permit me through your
columns to remind our church people
everywhere of their duty when their i'm
mediate friends and relatives are chang
ing their residence, il they would have
their church connections maintained in
their new home We, in the Church of
Our Father, are especially anxious to
know OF Universalists in our division of
the city that we may visit them in per
son if they fail to visit us. We are oc-
casionlly making very pleasant associa-
tons, but too frequently find that they
might have been made with mutual ben
eft before, il we had visited our new
friends, or they had visited us. or course,
our church services are widely published,
yet somehow they do not meet the eye of
mary interested. What suggest is that
any of your readers knowing Universal
lists who have recently come to Chicago
write me or you their addresses here, and
l will see that they are visited and invit-
ed to church of their denomination, the
most convenient for their residence. This
is a good habit to get into anyhow,
whether removals are made to this city
or elsewhere; that is, seeing that they
continue their denominational relations
in their new home"

FRANCIS MURPHY s successful work
for temperance in Chicago, is one of
the encouraging facts of the revival
season. 1t is work which requires no
discount, and may be profitably made
subject for study by all interested in
the problem of intemperance in our
great cities.

NOTES.

RED JACKET once said: "The Great
Spirit taught the white man to talk on
paper, because he knew he could not re-
member things. The Indian never for

everything in his heart"

Rev. ]. O. f. Grumbine, in a recent
LEADER, under the caption Produce the
List" remarks:
"At meeting of the General Conven-
ton OF Universalists held in New York
city several prominent clergymen spoke
of the need Of clergymen to fill 5000, $500,
or $500 pulpits. l have in mind three
good ministers who need places and who
would be glad to go where they could do
good. Why not give a list of such pull
pits to the LEADER so that we all may
know where empty but relatively desira-

PRESIDENT BARTLETT, OF Amherst Col.
lege, has written an historical explana-
ton Of "rushes" and hazings at colleges,
wherein be points out chat this peculiar
barbarism, which is tolerated by public
opinion in some of those very communi-
ties whose whole purpose is to promote
enlightenment, is curiously enough ''a
far-off relic of the ancient benefit of the
clericus.' He cites a number of strik-
ing examples of the false notion of duty
and morals which prevail in some student
communities to prove this interest ing
historical fact. He points out, too. very
effective remedy, and shows how it has
worked in several notable cases. His pa
per will appear in the Forums for Decem-
Der.
The old preachers of Universalism
were quite fond of the following lines
and often quoted them in their ser m ons:
"Could we with ink the ocean fill,
We're every man scribe by trade,
Were every blade of grass quill,
And the whole world of parchment made,
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor would the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky"
A correspondent of the New York Oh
server Presbyterian asks the name of
the author. 1t is unknown, and the ed
itor responds: " They are said to have
been written by lunstic, but it is evil
dent that his mind was not entirely shat
tered Gan any of our readers give the
necessary information?
In view of our recent article on JOHN
WESLEY and Universalism, the following
from the Christian Life will be read with
interest: "TEULoN had in early life the
intimate friendship of JOHN WESLEY, to
whom he used to lend early numbers Of
'Winchester's Universalist Miscellany as
they appeared, and which, as throwing
fresh light upon Divine Providence, by
teaching universal restoration of man
to state Of happiness, was attracting
much notice. WESLEY was struck with
the sentiments of Winchester, and al
though, as he expressed himself, afraid
by advocating SO great a change he
might unsettle the minds of his followers,
and thus do more harm than good, he
strongly recommended Mr.. TEULoN to
continue reading the miscellany, and give
its arguments every consideration"

TaE Democratic blather about reducing
the surplus by taking the duty off raw
materials and placing them on the free
list, thereby not only reducing the reve-
naes but also chesPening manufactured
articles, and lessening the duty necessary
for the protection OF their producers, in
dnces the Chicago Hdes-Oeeaa TO inquire
WHIST il raw Material? and it pertinent
and telling answer 10 ti,is question Is -
follows:
But what is raw material Is i some
thing produced without labor, and there
fore something in which cheapness may
be attained without lessening the pur-
chasing power of any body OF citizens.
If SO il would De well TO remove import
duties. But inquiry will show that there
i but one thing which can truly be spok-
en- Of as raw material. and that a thing
not capable Of import or export, and
thing which, moreover, the most advanc-
ed of living free traders insists upon as
being the only thing properly subject to
taxation For land Is the only raw ma-
terial known 10 art or manufactures. An
